Miracle Box Packing Party

Making a difference, one box at a time!

Louise Downs of Metamora founder of Dessert Angels, Inc. in 2001. And she is responsible for the shipment of thousands of boxes filled with a variety of needed items as well as words of encouragement to our troops overseas. She was given the nickname “Desert Angel” by the thankful recipients. These boxes were named Miracle Boxes in honor of Pfc. Joseph A. Miracle of Ortonville, MI. He was killed in action in Afghanistan on July 5, 2007. This young man is also the son of Glenn Miracle, a member of Oakland County Sportsmen’s Club. If you know someone who is serving overseas and would like them to receive a Miracle Box, contact the club office with their name and address so that they can be added to the list.
